Mortgage Banking/Servicing

MORTGAGE LOANS AND SERVICING RIGHTS: BUY, SELL, OR HOLD?

As a mortgage banker, you need to determine the right price for either buying or selling a pool of loans or the servicing rights to those loans. Alternatively, if you are a banker or servicer planning to securitize, you need to understand loan pricing at origination and identify which loans will contribute and/or detract from the overall quality of the pool. Regardless of the scenario, examining the projected value of a pool of loans is essential, resting largely on whether the underlying loans will perform, outperform or underperform.

At AD&Co, we can help. Our products help value how a pool of loans will perform taking into account risk resulting from borrower behavior and macroeconomic issues. By using loan-level data, we combine our industry tested credit and prepayment models, interest-rate models, home-price models and proprietary analytics to evaluate risk and forecast values.
 

Supported by our experienced client service team that is available to address any concerns, our products help you:

  • Evaluate opportunities to buy or sell pools of loans (servicing retained or servicing released)

  • Project loan-level and pool-level values

  • Determine servicing values, including both overvalued and undervalued servicing rights in the market

  • Conduct hedging strategies

  • Run overall risk management
